This is what mormons believe.

How dare I? If he is a true mormon, he believes this, if not, he is a fake mormon.

I have heard this several times. I heard it from Bill Maher and from Mancow's show in an interview with an expert on mormons.

Answer 1

Okay first- what does this have to do with politics? Ans second- we DO NOT believe this. That is ridiculous. The only thing that this fabricated lie could even be close to, is that until the 70's balck men were not aloowed to hold the priesthood. Never, EVER, has it ever been said that only a black slave can enter heaven. AS a matter of fact, when the church was first established- it was the only church of the time to allow freed slaves to attend with everyone. They were welcomed with open arms. Not until many, MANY years later did other churches follow suit. As a matter of fact, for the majority of churches in the south, this was not allowed until after the segragation movement. So tell me- who's really the racist one? And if that were also the case, then why is slavery against everything that we believe in? And why did none of the leaders have slaves? Including joesph smith? sounds like your lie's got too many holes to stand up on it's own- i would suggest that if you are trying to undermine the beliefs of members and discourage others from looking- you might want to try soemthing that is actually founded on something- because this is just laughable!

Answer 2

O your so clever....Mitt is so evil no matter what he does.

So do you condone the killing of innocent women, children, and animals in some circumstances???? Yes or No?

If you say "Yes" you're a heartless SOB and a good Christian

If you say "No" then you have no faith and you're a liar and a hypocrite.

....Remember when the Lord commanded the Israelites to kill all the Canaanites?

So....which are you?????????????????

A "We Hate Mormons" website is a fine place to find unbiased truth about Mormons, right????

Are you really that stupid that you think a website with so much malice and hate will provide good information?

Wow.....

And Mormons have never taught or believed that "Black people could only get into heaven as slaves". Incidentally, Mormons were outraged by slavery, supported the North in the Civil War, and never owned slaves.

.........What was the "Bible Belt" like.....???

Such an ignorant "Question" if you can even call it that.

Answer 3

This is NOT what Mormons believe. I am a Mormon. I have been a Mormon for almost 30 years, since I was 21. And you can take my word for it, Mormons do NOT believe ANY of that drek on that web site. They are probably making a mint off of gullible people like you giving them contributions.

Answer 4

Mitt Romney never said that and you can't prove that he did, and the Mormon religion does not believe that, I know that from experience as i am a Mormon just converted 2 years ago after 8 years of studying the religion cause I thought a lot of untrue stuff about them from reading things and listening to people who I now know knew nothing about the religion. The Momon religion believes almost all the same things that the rest of the christian religions believe. One of the main differences is we believe GOD has not abandoned us and that we still have profits on the Earth today as there has been almost since the beginning of time. I won't say I believe 100% of what the religion preaches, but much more than any other christian religion and I have belonged to most and studied the rest and found them to be harder to reconcile with my beliefs and with what the Bible says.

Answer 5

Have you ever thought about asking Mormons what they believe instead of learning about Mormon beliefs from Mormon haters? The irony is that bigoted people like yourself are far creepier than the fictitious Mormons you condemn. By the way, I'm Mormon, and my wife is black. We were sealed in a Mormon temple, where the officiator told us that God approved of our marriage. So tell me again how I and my people are racists?

(I'm guessing I won't get "best answer" for this response... :) )

Answer 6

It's interesting the way that site is set up. Each point starts off "Mormons won't tell you..." Of course Mormon's won't tell you those things because they are not true.

Answer 7

When will all you Mormon haters stop??? Have you ever met anyone thats Mormon that has truly been a bad person to you? And HOW DARE YOU suggest that we believe that!!!!!!!!!!!! You know nothing about our church.

Answer 8

I wouldn't quite say that they believe the only way blacks can get into heaven is if they are slaves, but for years - up until 1978 - they believed that blacks were creatures cursed by God. The excuse that they used instead of admitting they were wrong was saying that God told the currently serving Mormon prophet, Gordon Hinckley, that the "time of their curse was over."

Regardless, the Mormon faith is not only nothing like Christianity, it is lunacy. Did you know they never take their "Mormon Underwear" off?

I suggest you look into this site:

http://www.sdmin.org/

They have a section for Mormons too.

PS: Did you also know they believe a Mormon man "sealing" himself (being bonded in marriage) is possible with women, and they can't give consent? Or that this even extends to dead women?

For example ... if I were a Mormon ... if I wanted to go out tomorrow and "seal" myself to Anna Nicole Smith, thus being married to her for all eternity and producing children with her in the celestial kingdom, I could?

Answer 9

2 Nephi 26:33: ...he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God both Jew and Gentile. (The Book of Mormon)

Acts 10:34 God is no respecter of persons (The New Testament)

You do not know what Mormons believe.

Answer 10

some mormons have some crazy beliefs... but most are more mainstream and have more acceptable beliefs and don't believe a lot of that anymore...

but this isn't any worse than calling a liberal a communist... which happens on here about 100 times a day...

it's merely associating one person who's part of a huge group with the very most extreme actions of most extreme small groups that exists inside that larger group ...
